just having a quick read, im not a sparky so unsure of regs etc. But i do run a training centre for floorcoverings. I read this is poor practice but o.k to have cable here? As someone has pointed out, gripper could be nailed here. Also do the regs not say something along the lines of...

use plywood not a floorboard.

Asphalt is the floors DPM. As it has cracks and damage it defo requires a barrier sheet. What you have found is fine.

this might be of interest. Says the same as i said above with a bit more detail. http://www.contractflooringjournal.co.uk/archive/helpdec03_2012.html

problem is no one knows what they are talking about. You do not need marine plywood. You do not need exterior grade plywood either. There is no such thing as WBP ! (even tho B&Q etc list plywood as WBP. The bathroom is indoors? so interior ? then you need a interior plywood. Simple...

just been searching ebay and i think i have found the same bulb but MUCH cheaper than i found before. Again from USA but around £15 a bulb and £27 postage i think it was. Still a lot of money for a bulb. Anyone know a LED replacement for these -...

the bulbs are made by osram. I have left the bulb at work so not sure here but they are i think 20watts with the same pins on the back as 12 volt downlighters. They are downlighters but with a strange black cap that covers the bulb. I will see if i can find them again.

Silicon will cause issues for the person installing the vinyl and tile adhesive might crack as it will be very thin. Really you should use skim coat. Have a look at -stopgap 500.

Bit more info of why im thinking of doing this. Its a 20 year old boat with 20 year old fittings but the fitting are like new condition. Some of the bulbs have gone and i have had a look around for replacement bulbs but they don't seem to be available any more in u.k. I found some in...

i cant wire them parallel can i ? they are 12volt bulbs with a 24volt supply?

Hi, i would like to check im correct here as been a fair few years since i left school. If i have 24v supply (dc) and i wire 2x 12v bulbs together they will be fine? so i take the positive from battery and wire to positive on light. The negative on light i take to positive on the other...

you cant fill the edges as you should have around 2-3mm gap for expansion. If you have over this then its a bit to big for vinyl on top. You would be better cutting a few inch's short and filling in with plywood and then skim coating the joins. Make sure you use correct fixings also...

I would lift the board next to it and install a larger panel over the whole lot. If you want to go the glue route then you need this stuff - http://www.tradediscountshop.co.uk/product-category/rewmar/

Can take a a lot longer than that. 6 months is a average for a concrete subfloor that is approx 4" deep. Concrete drying calculation is 1mm per day up to 50mm deep. Over 50mm deep it is 1/2mm per day . This is calculated at a 55% rh moisture level and at 21c. If the concrete has been...

hi, Ok, so who did you pay for the install? was it the installer (in their name) or the retailer in their name?

Very very poor fitting. The installer is responsible for replacing and any damage caused to doors etc also. Im saying the installer as that is who you paid to install it. You never paid the retailer a fitting charge. You only purchased the flooring off the retail shop. However was you...

You have to prime, the smoothing compound wont bond to plywood otherwise. In the sticky it names the products you need. So that would be - Fball P131 Neoprime primer Fball 700 fibre screed. Have you googled the products to find nearest stockest or simply order online and get...

have you read the sticky posts at top of forum ?

sounds like the screws holding the catch have come loose and when you push against it the latch is moving rather than unlocking. Had the same problem twice ! 1St time - heavy blow with hand and it unlocked. 2ND time- leaver bar under hatch, pulled screws out. Easier than expected...

Your question is very specialist based and there is no direct answer but i will try and help with the info we have. Tiles need to be removed and so does the adhesive (take care as they may contain asbestos ) You then need to make sure the moisture content of the sub-floor is below 65%RH...
